The method includes reconstructing at least one MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) according to scheduling information of the MAC layer and generating at least one MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) data portion, adding control information to each MPDU data portion and generating at least one MPDU payload, the control information comprising MSDU information constituting each MPDU data portion, adding a General MAC Header (GMH) to each MPDU payload and generating at least one MPDU, the GMH including length information on the MPDU and Connection IDentifier (CID) information, and transmitting the MPDU to a receive end.
Abstract:
A method and system for encoding the length of a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is provided. The method includes partitioning the length of the MAC PDU into a first part and a second part when the length of the MAC PDU is greater than a first predefined value, encoding the first part in a first header of the MAC PDU, encoding the second part in a second header of the MAC PDU, encoding the length of the MAC PDU in a first header of the MAC PDU when the length of the MAC PDU is less than or equal to first predefined value, and transmitting the MAC PDU with the encoded length of the MAC PDU to a receiving communication device. In another embodiment, the invention includes a method and apparatus for decoding an encoded length of a MAC PDU.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) feedback in a wireless communication system are provided. A method for the ARQ feedback at a receiving end includes when receiving an ARQ block from the transmitting end, checking for error in the ARQ block, when the ARQ block has no error, initializing and driving a timer used for determining whether to perform the ARQ feedback according to reception of a next ARQ block, when receiving the next ARQ block without error before the timer expires, initializing and driving the timer, and when the timer expires, performing the ARQ feedback in relation to at least one ARQ block received without error.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for providing a service to a Mobile Station (MS) by a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) operating in cooperation in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes configuring, by a master BS, a first cooperative cell including at least one slave BS, sending a resource request message for requesting resource allocation to the at least one slave BS included in the first cooperative cell, receiving, from each of the at least one slave BS, a resource request response message including resource approval control results for the resource allocation request, changing member BSs constituting the first cooperative cell based on the resource request response message, and allocating resources to an MS that is served in the first cooperative cell.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a path between terminals in a wireless communication system includes measuring a channel quality of a direct path with the another terminal when receiving a request for measuring the channel quality of the direct path from a higher entity, transmitting a first message comprising a result of the measuring the channel quality to the higher entity, and, when receiving a second message to instruct to switch to the direct path from the higher entity, setting the direct path with the another terminal. another embodiments including a terminal and a network entity are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for acquiring synchronization by a serving Base Station (BS) in a cooperative communication system includes performing a Medium Access Control Service Data Unit (MAC SDU) synchronization process with a data Gate Way (GW) and at least one cooperative communication cell member BS, determining a first Internet Protocol (IP) packet which is received by the at least one cooperative communication cell member BS after performing the MAC SDU synchronization process, and performing an IP packet transfer operation with the data GW and the at least one cooperative communication cell member BS based on whether at least one IP packet of which a Sequence Number (SN) is less than an SN of the first IP packet is buffered. The other embodiments with respect to serving base stations, data GWs, and cooperative communication cell member BSs are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for dynamically changing upper bound on size of data packets. In one embodiment, a transmitting device determines a need to change existing negotiated maximum size for an active connection when size of data packets for an application is switched, a new application is mapped to the active connection or Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of broadband wireless network is changed. Then, the transmitting device sends a request message indicating a new negotiated maximum size for changing the existing negotiated maximum size to the receiving device. The receiving device sends a response message confirming change to the new negotiated maximum size to the transmitting device. Accordingly, the transmitting device and the receiving device uses the new negotiated maximum size for building data packets and decoding the received data packets respectively based on a predefined parameter (e.g., sequence number/action time) indicated in the request/response message.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for communicating data packets in a cloud cell. In one embodiment, a network node from which data packets are received is identified by the BS. If the data packets are received from a data gateway, a network node to which the data packets to be sent is identified. If the data packets are to be sent to a slave BS, partial processing, is performed on the data packets by the master BS. Furthermore, partially processed data packets are transmitted to the slave BS so that the slave BS performs complete processing on the partially processed data packets and transmits the completely processed data packets to the MS. If the data packets are to be sent to the MS, then complete processing of the data packets is performed by the BS and transmitted to the MS.
Abstract:
Beam selection is provided. A method for handover in a mobile station includes sending a scan request message for scanning a downlink (DL) beam with respect to a serving base station (BS) and a neighboring BS, to the serving BS, and receiving a scan response message; determining the DL beam for the MS by performing scanning with the serving BS and the neighboring BS based on the scan response message; sending a scan report message comprising a result of the scanning to the serving BS; when receiving an air-HO request message from the serving BS, generating an air-HO response message comprising information of a neighboring BS to which the MS hands over based on the air-HO request message; performing beam selection with the neighboring BS of the handover based on the air-HO request message; and performing the handover.
